The record plays with a lovely prog rock sound of the early 1970's recordings.
The vinyl plays as overall EX. A couple of tracks have some light background but all the other tracks play well. Overall a very good example that plays with no loud pops no loud tics no repeats.
LABELS. As seen in the photos.
EXCELLENT ~ The record shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening of the sound quality. There may be some light crackle but NO major problems like LOUD clicks. Occasional soft tics are acceptable. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
